capital punishment for sexy PM
Wouldn't you want to meet the diva whose billboard on Marine Drive in Mumbai was pulled down because the authorities thought it's too sensual? The photo below which you have been ogling at for the last five minutes is that of Pooja Misrra whose resume has varied and interesting designations like film actress, VJ, model and emcee.u00a0
The lady is in town yet again to create another 'sensual' controversy. She is going to host the India International Model Hunt today and the winner will walk the ramp with her at the Couture Week in New York. Also, the winner of the hunt, which received more than a 1000 entries in the first month of its soft launch, stands a chance to act opposite Big B and Ajay Devgn in a film.u00a0
But that will only happen if the male or female model to be selected can pass Misrra's litmus test of which even you can be a part of. "I'm going to help the judges choose someone who looks good, has a great body but above all speaks well," she says. And talking of males, the lady has almost the same criteria for the one who'll win the title and her heart, "The one who wins the title should be well spoken but the man of my dreams has to be understanding and well traveled," she reveals. And just when we were wondering strangely, looks don't feature on her priority list, pat comes the reply, "Well, when it comes to looks, let's say on a scale of ten an eight will make me happy."u00a0
But then, that's Pooja for you, "Just when you think you can predict it, my X factor takes over and I surprise you," she says. What can we say; after all we have wanted to do the 'deer caught in headlight' act with her for so long.u00a0u00a0u00a0
